Dickman and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the dispute between Mr. Dickman and the Child Support Registrar concerning the percentage of care arrangements for a child. Mr. Dickman sought to have the existing percentage of care determinations revoked, arguing that there had been a change to the likely pattern of care.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child. This involved assessing whether the circumstances had altered sufficiently to warrant a revocation of the existing percentage of care determinations made under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*.

The Tribunal found that there had been no change to the likely pattern of care. Applying the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*, the Tribunal concluded that the existing determinations accurately reflected the ongoing care arrangements. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision to refuse to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations.
